I will definitely try it when the weather gets nicer:<br /> <a href="http://www.glamour.com/fashion/2008/12/6-blazer-moments-to-steal?slide=2" rel="nofollow">http://www.glamour.com/fashion.....al?slide=2</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47378 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 15:24:05 +0000 shana 47378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey Nicole, I saw this picture on another blog (Tanya, you should check it out - it's right up your alley!) - the graphic tee over a button down!</p> <p><a href="http://www.academichic.com/2009/01/16/16-january-2009-4/" rel="nofollow">http://www.academichic.com/200.....ry-2009-4/</a></p> <p>I think it would only work for the boyishly slim and even though these gals were wearing it for a "gender bending party", I kind of like the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47309 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 01:23:53 +0000 Antje 47309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great casual outfit, Nicole! This is along the lines of what I do for typical weekend days, e.g. a mix of hanging around the house, visiting with close friends, running errands etc. I don't have such a cute tee, usually I just throw a cardi or v-neck sweater over a cami in a different color and add a scarf in lieu of a necklace, but the idea is the same. I'd love to find a cute tee as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47302 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 01:11:57 +0000 marianne 47302@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Nicole, I was just curious. I have the same issue with one boot and you're probably right about it being a defect. I just hope it doesn't get worse since I would love for them to last. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47246 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 14:57:35 +0000 bella 47246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, this outfit is very cute. I think it is a great concept that you can expend on with many different layering options.<br /> Ps: I really like your hair with the bangs and ponytail! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47241 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 13:19:51 +0000 Nicole 47241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow...I wasn't expecting so many comments, and such positive ones.</p> <p>Donna, the new picture location was due to the fact that my daughter was home to take the photo. Otherwise I have to balance the camera on a half wall. I figured I'd give you guys something else to look at for a change.</p> <p>Shana, I hear you on the V-neck part. I was lucky to have found one. I love your idea of purple!</p> <p>Tarzy, the shirt came from Marshalls. I don't remember the brand, but I can check for you.</p> <p>Marianne, Nope never did anything about the red boots. The mar is very small and probably only noticeable to me--but I was disappointed in that. It happened to both boots, so I think it's a defect of the boot.</p> <p>Shiny, These jeans are Gap. I tried to duplicate them, but they don't make this style anymore. I'm glad you approve of the color black on me. I am going to be on a hunt for a structured sort of cropped jacket now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47214 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 05:02:53 +0000 shiny 47214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! The tee looks great with that necklace. The cardi is just-right length because it shows off the tee. You look uber-slim in this outfit - and i really like your hair pulled up. The black color doesn't bother me at all - it looks sophisticated on you - but you know me, I like black </p> <p>Hmm... I just think black is a great color on you. It is a great counterpoint to your hair color and your skin tone. You'd still want a pop of color somewhere (like you do here with the tee, and the shoes) but I like black on you a lot. Hmm... the gray dress was amped up with a dark cardi ... hmmm... maybe you should go with deeper, darker colors (not necessarily black) rather than lighter colors? IMO, they suit you really well. </p> <p>I do like the idea of a more structured jacket with this, but completely understand about the coat issue (struggling with that myself lately....grrr, winter!). Again, this just means you have lots of options with this top. </p> <p>Those jeans are fantastic - which ones are those? And the shoes... well you know already I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47210 Sat, 31 Jan 2009 04:49:41 +0000 marianne 47210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! I think a different color cardi would be even better. Ooh I like the purple idea.</p> <p>P.S. Nicole, I've been meaning to ask - did you end up doing anything about the finish on your LC boots? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47087 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 23:34:56 +0000 tarzy 47087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great! I LOVE that t-shirt. Where did you find it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47076 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:53:10 +0000 shana 47076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, this looks awesome - fun &#38; casual! I love the necklace too. I was really eager to see how you would do this so I could copy. I kept thinking that you have to do a crew next tee which is not the most flattering look for me and of course so many graphic tees seem to have the "graphic" part right across the chest. You've really found the perfect way to make it work for your (and mine) body type. I'll have to dig in my closet and see if I have any graphic v-necks. </p> <p>I don't think the cardi is too cropped - you want to see some of the t-shirt print below it. If you wanted to be funkier, you could try another color cardi - how about purple or a fuschia? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47068 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 22:25:15 +0000 Donna 47068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole-So cute! The outfit will look good with the Cons when the weather cooperates but your beautiful red boots work great. I don't think the cardi is too cropped and I like the black with the other colors.</p> <p>I also like the new picture taking location! We have a similar looking space in our house that displays my husbands guitars-I think 5 right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-47054 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 21:44:15 +0000 Nicole 47054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, here's what I came up with today. It's not quite a funky as I was hoping though. If it was a bit warmer out, I'd have worn my baby blue Converse. (please ignore the hair, I was on my way for a haircut and saw no point in doing anything else to it).</p> <p>I don't really have any structured jackets that are not "suit-ish". And wearing a jacket under a winter coat is uncomfortable and impractical, IMO...so I went for a cropped cardi. I like the idea of a vest (when the weather warms up). </p> <p>Is the cardi too cropped? Should I try a bolder color than black?<br /> <a href="http://s289.photobucket.com/albums/ll230/Nichripar/?action=view&#038;current=GraphicTee001.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://s289.photobucket.com/al.....Tee001.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46929 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:00:59 +0000 Nicole 46929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow thanks everyone! Especially you Inge--what a great assortment of ideas and inspiration. My creative juices are flowing. Tomorrow is my day off--so I'll be sure to try out a few different ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46927 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:54:22 +0000 Ariadne 46927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There are tons of great ideas in there, Inge! Wow. You're amazing. I never thought to try my graphic tee with my plaid pencil skirt. I'm going to give that one a shot. Maybe with the dreaded coloured tights, even. Heh. And I love that ruffled halter vest! Sweet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46922 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 18:12:29 +0000 Sarah 46922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I have my eye on either of these tees. I love the texture and think they'd look great with white skinny jeans, pearls, and converse for the spring:<br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/knitstees/PRDOVR~14457/14457.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../14457.jsp</a><br /> <a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/knitstees/PRDOVR~13126/13126.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows...../13126.jsp</a><br /> I'm sure a summer jacket (denim?), vest, or cardigan would look great with them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46921 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:51:47 +0000 Inge 46921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>By the way, isn't this a cute vest?!!<br /> (I'd never seen a halter vest before and I love the ruffles - this would be great to add a feminine touch to an androgynous look)</p> <p><a href="http://store.delias.com/item.do?itemID=50450&#038;siteID=Hy3bqNL2jtQ-r4IuUqSpgeiefc0D%2AibLnA" rel="nofollow">http://store.delias.com/item.d.....0D%2AibLnA</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46919 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 17:44:17 +0000 Inge 46919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to include this one. I especially like it because of the neutral colour palette and the dress pants (good point Patience!). There's something very appealing and modern about the combination of a casual graphic tee paired with dressy pants.<br /> And don't you have a sweater coat Nicole, or am I confusing you with somebody else now?</p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/grey_autumn/set?id=4725863" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/grey_autumn/set?id=4725863</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46910 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 16:21:29 +0000 Inge 46910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Browse/WomenBrowse/Women_Feature_Assortment/NewArrivals/knitstees/PRDOVR~10902/10902.jsp?srcCode=AFFI00001&#038;siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-ASFayjJV7Tnc3GOH987%2AsQ" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/AST/Brows.....OH987%2AsQ</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/2997694?Category=&#038;Search=True&#038;SearchType=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=vest+in+All+Categories&#038;origin=searchresults" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/29.....rchresults</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/ringspun_chiffon_graphic_tee/set?id=3655055" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/ringsp.....id=3655055</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/dress_like_natalie_portman_graphic/set?id=1719076" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/dress_.....id=1719076</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/what_wore_today/set?id=3986878" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/what_w.....id=3986878</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/an_autumn_outfit/set?id=3246459" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/an_aut.....id=3246459</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/penguins_have_orange_heart/set?id=1523039" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/pengui.....id=1523039</a><br /> (if you replace the shorts with a pair of dark-wash denim clamdiggers?-)</p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/bear/set?id=4161327" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/bear/set?id=4161327</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/338_jadore/set?id=4856567" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/338_jadore/set?id=4856567</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/on_beat_goes/set?id=4080722" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/on_bea.....id=4080722</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/remember_me/set?id=4469270" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/remember_me/set?id=4469270</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/legally_approved/set?id=4859393" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/legall.....id=4859393</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.polyvore.com/that_letter/set?id=5345124" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/that_letter/set?id=5345124</a></p> <p>(Polyvore sets usually require a little imagination: just replace what you don't like or can't wear with something more appropriate and you just might have found yourself an inspiring outfit;-)<br /> For further browsing:<br /> <a href="http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/search.sets?page=1&#038;query=%22graphic+tee%22" rel="nofollow">http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/se.....hic+tee%22</a></p> <p>Another thought, maybe you could try the tee without a cardigan or jacket too and pair it with a long summer-weight scarf (wrap it around your neck once and let the ends dangle).

Then you can either do jeans, microchecks, or even dressier pants for something a bit different. It might even work for skirts as long as the shirt can be scrunched up for skirt shirt length. Can't wait to see you rock this look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46906 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 15:59:35 +0000 Inge 46906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How fun Nicole, I can't wait to see which one you got!!<br /> I agree with Sarah and Nicole, a slim fit and some funky jewelry, a cute bag or fun shoes make all the difference.</p> <p>I'll try to find some outfits online for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46897 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 14:53:21 +0000 Lee Hovey 46897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Sarbear, those are beautiful pictures!!</p> <p>Nicole for me the key is to make sure the graphic tees are slim fit, meaning they fit close against the body and are long enough to poke out the bottom. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46876 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 04:25:02 +0000 Sarah 46876@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, Nicole! I do this combination a lot, actually. The only photos I have are of our photo shoot last fall, but I wear this particular outfit frequently.<br /> Graphic tee, cardi, jeans, strand of pearls:<br /> <a href="http://letitrainagain.blogspot.com/2009/01/tees-and-cardis.html" rel="nofollow">http://letitrainagain.blogspot.....ardis.html</a><br /> I have other graphic tees and wear them with jackets or cardigans with jeans or check pants, etc. I like throwing the pearls over it to give it extra punch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46871 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 03:52:47 +0000 Maya 46871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't take pictures right now but it's pretty self explanatory. I wear mine under this trapeze jacket, so that the bottom peeks out the same way the tank does in the picture:</p> <p><a href="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v35/ranabow/IMG_0959.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://img.photobucket.com/alb.....G_0959.jpg</a></p> <p> I also like to wear it under a black blazer, cropped cardigan, and under v-neck sweaters that tie back into some of the colors of the shirt (mine is a plummy purple with blue, white, and gold). Basically I just like to have bits of it sticking out from underneath another layer, so you can see the pattern and it dresses things down a bit. I just wear it like any other layering piece like a camisole or tank. I also REALLY love the idea of wearing it with a waistcoat or biker jacket. I'm keen on getting a waistcoat just for that purpose, even if it takes me forever and a day to find one that fits over my chest. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/visual-aid-please#post-46867 Thu, 29 Jan 2009 03:10:37 +0000 Nicole 46867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can anyone show me some images of graphic tee shirts being worn under jackets or cardigans in a stylish way?</p> <p>I picked up a really cute graphic tee, and I'd like to be creative with it. Thanks! </p>
